I guess the intention was throwing signal + showing message to user. The
same could certainly be implemented without user-error. However, some
packages might be relying on the present behaviour and changing it could
break user's workflows. If you have any ideas how to implement quitting
from org-capture without using user-error *and supporting backward
compatibility*, patches are welcome.

Also, you can add this error to debug-ignored-errors to avoid annoyance
when debug-on-error is active.

Best,
Ihor
